President-elect Donald Trump's selection of Matt Gaetz as attorney general has caused a stir among Justice Department employees. Gaetz, a Florida Republican and Trump loyalist, lacks law enforcement experience and was previously the subject of a federal sex trafficking investigation.
The nomination has left many career lawyers within the department shocked and outraged. Gaetz's rhetoric about the 'deep state' and his criticism of federal prosecutions have raised concerns among employees. Some are already considering leaving their positions due to apprehensions about Gaetz's leadership style.
